The role of energy in societies plays a major role in sustainability and development of the human species, without adapting and surviving in the open environment becomes a barbaric act of territorial control and harsh adaptations to climate changes and weather conditions. Maintaining the use of energy through various forms of applications gives power to the wielding society for growth and prosperity inevitable in any functional society. In the era of industrialization growth and development use of energy and its resources became an essential survival adaptation in order to be able to maintain agriculture, transportation, waste removal, information technology and communications in a society that is developed in profile. Rapid growth of modernised societies, demanded for expansion in use of new methods of exploring energy sources that can sustain and increasing population. The expansion and exploration of new means of energy sources to up keep the societies energy has also brought ongoing long term problems, such as the concept of global scale planetary warming and the rooted network of problematic factors that go with it which potentially cause a mass effect on the very world.

In any society of human species the hierarchy of energy is pre positioned in various means of resources that maintain and serve sustainability in society, substances like fuels, petroleum products and electricity are key elements in maintaining the fresh hold of the society. Source of energy that is unusable and trapped with in the natural cycle of earth, can be extracted transformed to other means of energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro. Abuse of mass extracting a non renewable energy source that is finite in its resources can lead to devastating society population growth. Such example can be referred to the Easter Island mass extinction of a society. The occupants of the island, mass extracted the lush foliage and trees for use on fire and kayaks for hunting fish. This spurred great population increase in their society which reached a peak when resources were scares to up keep such society. In turn plague and territorial warfare diminished a colony with only the monolithic statues of their past resemblance.

Homer-Dixon argues that five “tectonic” stresses control the growth and collapse of any society. These include:

• Population stresses caused from high birth rates with in poor countries, more labour power per family.

• Energy stresses from the scarcity of conventional fossil fuels and rapid growing demand.

• Environmental stresses of all kinds, pollution, species extinction, eco system misbalance

• Climate stresses, change in weather conditions, crop failure due to lack of rain.

• Economic stresses from instabilities in the global economic system and disparities between rich and poor.

To conclude, energy source depletion on a wide scale causes a ripple effect of stress on societies in past and present. The decades of non renewable energy dependence now start to show how the problem is bigger than predicated. Its early symptoms can be seen as the start of impact on the social, economic and ecological order of our planet. Homer-Dixon's five tectonic stress illustrate that the smaller clusters of rich societies will adapted better to these extreme changes than those in poor regions, where resource are scares and energy is locally limited for the long term. If left unattained and no real solution is found the consequences of these stresses will be felt on the global scale and cause catastrophic changes unless human society recognises the threat early. Societal growth and prosperity comes with is advantages and disadvantages that sets off consequences for those who can't adapt to rapid changes and are left in denial of the problems at hand.
